Hi
Sorry for more BRU related questions.....my flight from ZRH lands at 18.05 & I have booked a train to Lille at 18.36...will I make it? I will be collecting the tickets at the station. Also, anyone know if LX is ever early to BRU from ZRH?!
Thanks

31 min. between landing and train is very, very sharp!
ZRH arrives at A-pier, which is a quite long walk. And if you have to pick-up luggage, forget it!
By the way, be sure the 1836 departure is from Brussels National Airport Station. Don't know if there are direct trains to Lille, or do you have to change at Brussels Midi?

Yeah I know, probably just taking hand luggage for this reason!

Yeah I have to change at Midi, exactly. Is it definitely not possible?....I think I can still change my train tickets to Charleroi Sud, take the bus to CRL....then the bus to Lille....yep I know, I´m insane...& all because I was bored of EI & FR....

This is not completely impossible, but it's definitely very sharp. Be prepared for a *long* walk from A-pier to the train station. Certainly, you won't make it if your flight has any delay, or if you have checked luggage.
By the way, to the best of my knowledge, unless you take a high speed train (to Lille-Europe), there is no nonstop conventional train service between Brussels-Midi and Lille (a change is required in either Tournai, Mouscron or Froyennes).
